I enjoyed the article in the June issue of CM entitled ‘Lessons from the New Towns’, but as a resident of Milton Keynes I am intrigued by the revelation that it is known locally as ‘Keynes’.

I have never heard or seen any reference to ‘Keynes’ in the 10 years that I have lived in MK (the term that locals use for Milton Keynes). I can’t wait for the USA article on Angeles and York!
